    Abstract: A laser device based on silicon photonics with in-cavity power monitor includes a gain chip, a reflector, and a photodiode. The gain chip is mounted on a silicon photonics substrate and is configured to emit light from an active region bounded between a frontend facet and a backend facet. The reflector is configured to reflect the light in a cavity formed between the reflector and the frontend facet through which a laser light is output. The photodiode is coupled to one or more waveguides in the cavity by a splitter disposed directly in an optical path between the reflector and a component positioned in the cavity. The photodiode is configured to measure power of light propagating through the cavity between the reflector and the component.

    Abstract: An in-packaged multi-channel light engine is packaged for four or more sub-assemblies of optical-electrical sub-modules. Each is assembled with at least four laser chips, one or more driver chip, and one or more trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) chip separately flip-mounted on a silicon photonics interposer and is coupled to an optical interface block and an electrical interface block on a sub-module substrate. The in-packaged multi-channel light engine further includes a first frame fixture holding the four or more sub-assemblies and a second frame fixture configured to hold the first frame fixture with the four or more sub-assemblies. The in-packaged multi-channel light engine further includes an interposer plate inserted between the sub-module substrates and a module substrate and is compressed between a backplate member attached to a bottom side of the module substrate and a top plate member configured as a heatsink with a plurality of fin structures.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an optical module based on silicon photonics. The optical module provides a cyptocurrency wallet stored in a memory resource and includes an optical communication block with a direct-to-cloud interface for connecting to entities in a cloud infrastructure. The optical module further includes an application block to enable a cryptocurrency transaction via the direct-to-cloud interface. The optical module is configured to be an optical Quantum Key Generation Distribution device using a quantum key generation encryption protocol to encrypt a private key protected transaction in an encrypted transaction envelope. Furthermore, the optical module includes an external interface connecting the application block to a user/host via a physical layer to establish a secure link before executing a peer-to-peer transaction between entities in the cloud infrastructure.

    Abstract: An coherent transceiver includes a single silicon photonics substrate configured to integrate a laser diode chip flip-mounted and coupled with a wavelength tuning section to provide a laser output with tuned wavelengths which is split in X:Y ratio partly into a coherent receiver block as local-oscillator signals and partly into a coherent transmitter block as a light source. The coherent receiver includes a polarization-beam-splitter-rotator to split a coherent input signal to a TE-mode signal and a TM*-mode signal respectively detected by two 90-deg hybrid receivers and a flip-mounted TIA chip assisted by two local-oscillator signals from the tunable laser device. The coherent transmitter includes a driver chip flip-mounted on the silicon photonics substrate to drive a pair of Mach-Zehnder modulators with 90-degree shift in quadrature-phase branches to modulate the laser output to two polarized signals with I/Q modulation and uses a polarization-beam-rotator-combiner to combine them as a coherent output signal.

    Abstract: An optical transceiver includes a silicon photonics substrate and multiple devices. The devices are configured to process optical signals propagating to and from the optical transceiver, and to perform at least one of an optical-to-electrical conversion of received optical signals to incoming electric signals and an electrical-to-optical conversion of outgoing electric signals to transmitted optical signals. The devices are each fabricated to include respectively a package substrate configured according to one of multiple different package substrate mounting technologies. Each package substrate among the multiple devices is mounted on the silicon photonics substrate according to mounting requirements of the respective package substrate mounting technology of that package substrate. At least two of the package substrates are mounted according to the mounting requirements of different package substrate mounting technologies.
